   Operations Phase

   BESTECH is recognized for its exceptional expertise in extending the productive life of existing mines. BESTECH has established the processes and methods for continuing cost-effective ore extraction long after most mines would have given up because costs per tonne have exceeded market rates for the ore.

   BESTECH Benefits Delivered:

   • Mine Life Extension: extending the useful, productive life of mine projects
   • Dewatering: removing water from the mine
   • HyLoENVIRO™: Real-time environmental monitoring system for controlling emissions from operations
   • Ventilation: ensuring safety for miners by providing clean air deep below the system, with energy savings over traditional methods thanks to ventilation on demand (VOD) technology
   • Material Handling: moving goods across the mine site through a variety of methods, from traditional means to autonomous delivery of supplies
